Who deserves to be Worshiped ?

{And if you are in doubt about what We have sent down upon Our slave
[Muhammad], then produce a chapter the like thereof and call upon your witnesses
other than Allah, if you should be truthful.} (Quran 2: 23)
This is one of the prophecies which the Quran accurately foretold, for no one,
from the time of Prophet Muhammad (bpuh) until this day, has been able to produce
the like of one chapter or even one verse of the Quran. As such, Muslims do not
need any other scriptures to base their faith on, either fully or partially. The Quran
remains clear and easily understood by anyone who has a good command of the
Arabic language, and when the meanings of its words are translated into any of the
world’s other languages, all of its legal injunctions and instructions are clear.
The entire Quran is a proclamation of monotheism
1. Some of the verses inform us about Allah: His names, attributes, acts and
speech. Those verses indicate the Oneness of Allah with respect to His most
excellent names, essence, and perfect attributes.
2. Other verses point to the necessity of worshipping Allah alone, without any
associate or partner, and of renouncing the worship of anything other than Him.
These verses indicate the focus of worship and the necessity for people to single
out their Lord in their intentions, in requesting His aid, and in turning to Him in
repentance, for example.
3. The Quran also contains injunctions and prohibitions; doing something that has
been enjoined or refraining from what has been prohibited is the fulfilment and
perfection of the affirmation of the Oneness of Allah.
4. The Quran includes stories and information about prophets and other righteous
people of true and sincere belief. It tells about their immediate rewards in the
life of this world as well as the immense rewards reserved for them in the
hereafter.
5. The Quran also contains stories about those who associate partners with Allah. It
describes their punishment in this life and the punishment they are promised in
